Rick Perry believes Satan is behind the separation of church and state

This separation of church and state, which has been driven by the secularists to remove those people of faith from the public arena, there is nothing farther from the truth. When you think about our founding fathers, they created this country, our Constitution, the foundation of America upon Judeo-Christian values, biblical values and this narrative that has been going on, particularly since the ’60s, that somehow or another there’s this steel wall, this iron curtain or whatever you want to call it between the church and people of faith and this separation of church and state is just false on its face. We have a biblical responsibility to be involved in the public arena proclaiming God’s truth. You know, are we going to get up and say ‘you are going to vote for X’? No, but we’re going to talk about Christian values. When you think about the issue of life and protecting life, it’s so important that we as Christians put legislation into place, that we elect women that defend life. The idea that we should be sent to the sidelines I would suggest to you is very driven by those who are not truthful, Satan runs across the world with his doubt and with his untruths and what have you and one of the untruths out there is driven—is that people of faith should not be involved in the public arena.

Right Wing Watch has audio, which has Perry telling us that Christian soldiers/warrior needs to return America to its Christian roots.

I very rarely go fire and brimstone on people, but this hideous abuse of the truth leaves me no alternative:
Perry is a blasphemer.
Attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to Satan is the unforgivable sin. This blasphemy doesn't quite rise to that level but is is perilously close. The concept of separation of church and state was originated and refined by early Baptists and Quakers, and by a number of great Enlightenment figures, Christian and otherwise. There is no doubt at all that they were motivated by a concern for justice and spiritual truth, concepts completely consistent with; and in many cases, inspired by; the teachings of Christ.
Again this is true of Christian and non-Christian advocates of separation alike.
There would be no sin in Perry arguing that these motives did not lead to a desired result (though it might be silly to do so). Perry is going much, much farther than that. He denies that these motives existed at all, and attributes the concept to Satan himself. The moral and Christ-like is portrayed as demonic, which is blasphemy on its face.

Well, fortunately for Perry, blasphemy is a nonsensical crime (along with every other tenet of Christianity), meaning he's merely a moron.

Ahh, but the Perrysites would no doubt like to make it a crime. I'll be ready to swear out a complaint as soon as they get the necessary statute passed by the Texas legislature and Redpot Rick signs it.
